Homeowners Excavating Their Own Swimming Pools - Its A Growing Trend
OK. So you're planning on finally turning your hot dusty backyard area into a water
park for your kids, with an affordable above ground pool. Good deal because your neighbor installed his on his own and is going to supervise your installation when it comes time. Now if you can just get the excavation work done on the cheap, you can come out of the whole deal smelling like a rose.
The problem is though, that every excavator you called wants a coupe of thousand dollars and they also want you to pay the huge dump fee on the dirt they dig up and haul away. You know damn well they aren't taking it to the dump. They're going to sell it to someone for fill dirt on their back lot.
Did you know that you can rent your own backhoe and dump truck right down at your local rental yard? Well you've seen them there before haven't you? Who do you think they rent them to? They rent them to people just like yourself. However; there is just one thing holding you back.
Thats that you've never operated one before. OK. It's understandable that you would be a little hesitant. The good news though is that there are videos right online that you can watch to learn how to do it. In fact you can even oder instructional DVDs that can teach you how to operate a backhoe.
So what you need to do now, is to call around to all of your local rental yards and find out what their rental fees are. You may be surprised at how cheap it is. Also at the same time, start to look around for someone who needs some fill dirt, so you don't have to pay any dump fees.
